It is not often that one can trace the steps of a ripple effect. In nature, the energy waves resonating outward from a single stone dropped in the water is an image we all carry with us. When the film Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe premiered at the Angelika theater in New York City not long ago, the pebble dropped. And the water — it is all around us and at the same time, it is us, our communities, our political representatives, our healthcare system, our churches and our consciousness.

The public has been suffering in silence making waves of resistance, activism and educating others in their own way about the dangers of vaccines, the rapid removal of health freedom and the creeping control of politics and medicine overrun by pharmaceutical influence. Many parents and families thought they were alone when their child was the 1 in 150 in 2002, then 1 in 88 in 2008, then 1 in 68 in 2010 and now 1 in 2 estimated by 2025.

The mainstream media continues to omit the story of vaccine injury occasionally pausing only to spotlight pro-pharmaceutical talking points and promote abuse and ridicule of the injured. A tipping point has been in the works for sometime now as the public has rejected the biased reporting. Passionate voices for health freedom are finding each other and pushing back hard against Big Pharma and its captured government agencies. Vaxxed has become a crucial link in the chain focusing the message and acting as a rallying point that is uniting race, religion and nations.

After each premiere showing, the Vaxxed producers Del Bigtree, Polly Tommey and Andrew Wakefield are on hand for Q&A session so the audience can further the discussion started by the documentary. In the film’s short history, the trajectory and discussion of these Q&A’s have exposed a critical mass of the population demanding change. The culmination of which happened on May 19 in the City of Compton, California where Mayor Aja L. Brown was the first to offer a free showing of the film for the city. However, it was the Q&A that followed where the fireworks really began.

Watching the discussion live, viewers couldn’t help feel that they had stumbled upon the epicenter of something fiercely visceral that is wrong in America. In addition to the usual suspects, Compton’s Vaxxed Q&A added two major league voices to the panel. Minister Tony Muhammad, Student Western Regional Minister of the Nation of Islam and Sheila Ealey, mother of a vaccine-injured son who stars in the film Vaxxed.

The walls of the venue were lined with men from the Nation of Islam in black suits and red bow ties, the Mayor looked on as the cast took the stage for a historic and needed discussion in the heart of Compton. Andy, Del and Polly went down the line and gave their insightful thoughts, yet when it came time for Sheila Ealey to take the mic the full fury from a long-silent mother of a vaccine injured son echoed off the Compton venue walls and into the ears of live stream listeners worldwide.

“What we have is a holocaust. Our children are being maimed and they are being killed. And you’ve got a government sitting in Washington, DC that doesn’t think enough to subpoena Dr. Thompson who came out and said what they were doing. So what we have to do today is take back our communities and take back our children. And how do we do that? We walk out of the doctors offices, we decide no, we’re not going to take that shot in the dark. We take our children out of the school system because the only thing they understand is money.”

When Minister Tony Muhammad was asked to speak, he directed his words to the heart of the matter.

"What we are finding out is that the pharmaceutical industry are one of the richest lobbyist groups in the world. And they are now financing many pastors. They are financing black leaders — our politicians. I went personally to Sacramento. Minister Farrakhan said get to them quickly and I showed this information before they took the vote [SB277] to [Senator ] Isadore Hall, [Assemblymember] Mike Gibson, [Supervisor] Mark Ridley-Thomas’s son — I showed it to all of them — Sawyer, Mitchell — and they all pushed it back to me and said “you go do what you need to do.” Only two did not vote for it [SB277] and it was black females. And then when we looked at the research, all of them took money from the pharmaceutical industry.We got some sellouts in our own community."

The live streamed ended with a plea from Sheila Ealey:

“You have to be willing to put your life on the line for this cause. Because if not, your children are not going to make it and you’re not going to make it. The pharmaceutical industry has developed a client from the womb to the grave and it breaks you."
